Hey guys, this is Anton.
I cannot believe it, but it’s finally here.
This is kind of a special episode for today.
“The Majesty of the Wolf”, which was announced way back in 2017 was one of those dramas that
had been stuck in limbo for so very long just premiered today.
I was pretty shocked to see there have not been any signs of an official English subtitle
for this drama yet, because I’m actually really enjoying “The Wolf” so far.
I know that some of you guys have had to watch it raw, so I will try to explain what happens
in its first episode in this video.
Obviously there will be spoilers in this video so if you don’t want to know, then please
turn it off right now.
And also, if you find a place where this series is posted with English subtitles, make sure
to share with everyone down in the comments below.

Okay, let’s get right to it.
Episode 1 begins with two kingdoms fighting with each other.
The Liang kingdom is taking over the Tang and getting rid of everyone.
The Tang king had to retreat to the north to regroup and regather.
The Liang king vows to annihilate them and unify the country.
From then on, the world was split into two forces.
In the next scene, a hunter and his son are seen walking through the woods.
They are looking to hunt for wolf meat to get rich.
The son tells his dad not to be afraid of demons up on these mountains, but the dad
hangs up charms just in case.
They catch a big wolf in one of their traps, but as the son comes to retrieve it, they
get attacked.
In the next scene, the son is begging a local official to come get rid of the Wolf demon
that they saw.
He said they saw a half man half wolf creature, but the local magistrate doesn’t believe
him and has him hauled away.
Before he does, Li Qin’s characters comes in and berates her brother for not at least
looking into the case.
Wow, she looks so different and much younger here than in the recent “Song of Glory”.
Anyways, she says their father is gone now but will be returning and will be disappointed
if the people aren't being looked after.
She convinces him to send an army up to the mountains to investigate.
When the army is up in the mountains they are surrounded by demon miasma and the wolves
appear.
The brother accidentally steps in a trap and hurts himself, and orders the mountain to be sealed
off.
We get to the next scene and are introduced to Darren Wang’s character, who was wearing
a wolf skin and lives among the wolves.
Li Qin’s character comes and it is revealed that the two have already known each other
for more than a year.
She calls him “Little Wolf”.
He doesn’t know how to speak but can understand what she is saying.
It was her plan to save the wolves from being hunted, so she was the one who released the
smoke that made everyone hallucinate.
In the next scene she tells him all the great things about human food
and asks him if he’d like to join her going to the village the next day.
Ask they are walking, she accidentally triggers a trap and he saves her.
He tells her humans are bad.
She replies that not all humans are bad and that he is human and not wolf, and he needs
to be able to tell who is good or bad.
She wants to prove to him there are still good people and the world, and leaves.
We come to a scene of the city and her father is returning.
He has a special guest with him, who is the king’s sworn brother.
He is here because he heard that wolf meat can cure all diseases.
We skip to the pair as they are exploring the town.
He lets some chickens out of their cage, and goes to watch a play.
She explains how they met through the play.
After her mom died, she got lonely, so she went up to the mountains to look for her mom’s
favorite flower.
She ran into him and found discovered he was sick.
She nursed him back to health, and because wolves always repay their debts, he led her
to where the flower was.
When they became good friends she forgot about how lonely she was.
She has a wolf’s tooth necklace made and gives it to him as a lucky charm.
At the end of the play she asks him if he would like to become a human forever to be
with her, but he gets distracted when he smells candy and leaves.
He almost gets into an altercation when the candy seller asks him to pay and he accidentally
shoves him.
Luckily, an elderly comes to save him and pays for the candy.
He learns that there are good people in the town.
She finds him and learns that only he ran off because he wanted to get her the candy.
The chemistry is seriously on fire in this drama, you guys.
We skip to a scene between her dad and the special guest who claims that they are both
right hand men to the king, but the difference is that her dad is like a guard dog, but he
is more like a wolf who helps the king conquer lands.
Li Qin barges in and says wolves are strong because know their place and have the intelligence
to retreat when they need to, unlike foxes who have to rely on others to intimidate others
weaker than them. People called a fox is a pretty serious insult.
The father scolds her for speaking out of place and grounds her for seven days.
Later on her dad comes in to get her and over dinner praises her for speaking his mind.
He scolds her though for not behaving like a princess and staying out so late, but she says it was
because she was showing an important friend around.
She says he loyal and kind, and her dad tells her he would like to meet her friend one day.
On the next scene, the guest is still upset but a servant brings in medicine soup to him
as an apology.
He asks about Wolf Mountain where he wants to catch some wolves to make medicine.
He threatens the servant to bring back some wolves for him or else he will report Li Qin
to the king.
The next day, the servant goes up to the mountain and finds Darren’s wolf pup wandering by
the river, which he captures in a bag.
We pan back to Li Qin in the market watching as Darren give apples as a gift to the kind people who
helped him before.
As they were talking, he leans over and kisses her, and she asks him where he learns it
from.
She remembers that he saw a little kid kissing him mom to show love.
Darren then tells her he likes her and she tells him that only he is able to kiss
her.
He suddenly hears the baby wolf in the distance and runs back to the mountain only to find out
that his friend is missing.
He returns to the city furious and tracks down the puppy to her father’s estate, where
the poor dog is still whimpering inside its bag.
And… that’s where the episode ends.
You guys, I’m in love with this series.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been super engaged in a drama like this.
The chemistry between the two main leads is awesome, and I really like the way the storyline
unfolds and characters get introduced.
Sorry for this super abridged version though, hopefully an official English subtitle version
for this comes out soon because this series has definitely been a pleasure to watch so
far.
I still cannot believe subtitles are not out for this show.
I might continue this explained series for episode 2 if subs continue to be slow, because
so far I actually really like “The Wolf”.
Let me and everyone else know if you are able to find any English subtitles anywhere, and
where to watch this great series.
I really like both Li Qin and Darren’s acting in here, I think they really nailed their
roles.
I can really feel the tension between their two characters.
I cannot wait to see what happens next.
What do you guys think of it so far?
